We really loved to have the two of you around and had some great days too! Big hug, Joke
Looks like your birthday was a bit soggy but you made up for it in the company & sights you saw. Good for you! Any birthday cake? ;)
What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday. We are looking forward to your return to Seattle.
